Manager Power Electronic/electrical Design Engineering Drive/traction Inverter jobs at Tesla in Germany, Reutlingen

Start to finish ownership of traction inverter hardware (PCBA and/or power stage) from specification to design, simulation, prototype, validation, and support high-volume manufacturing and field studies. ​

Characterize and model power semiconductors (static, dynamic, thermal) and traction inverters (peak power, efficiency, faults) performance.​

Develop and test (integrated) analog/digital circuit/power converter technologies to improve traction inverter (peak power, efficiency, reliability, manufacturability, cost) performance.​

Collaborate with modeling, mechanical, manufacturing, test, and control/firmware engineering teams to successfully design, validate, and manufacture traction inverters.​

B.Sc./M.Sc./Ph.D. (w/ relevant internship/working experience) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering and evidence of exceptional ability. ​

Relevant hands-on experience with analyzing and testing high voltage power semiconductors (switching waveforms and loss mechanisms).​

Relevant hands-on experience with design and testing of PCBA (integrated circuits, gate drivers, sensors/signal conditioning, power supplies) and with embedded programming.​

Proficiency with laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, analyzers) and circuit simulation tools, as well as good understanding of schematics, datasheets, and application notes.​

Good fundamentals (design trade-offs) of passive electronic components (capacitor, inductors, and transformers).

Be the point of contact for any internal/external technical/organizational topics within the team.​

Identify and solve restrictions in daily work, define long term development plans, and everything in between, while motivating the team through challenges.​
